Week 4 Reading Diary Continued: Bidpai

Fables of Bidpai by Bidpai

Fox tricks hare and wolf into a trap. Bird tricks a man into killing a snake because the snake at his babies. Man his whip envy which is actually a snake. Snake then bites and kills him. A fox tricks an adder to crawl back into a bag instead of biting anyone. Tortoise is holding onto stick with his mouth between two geese, people make fun of him, he opens his mouth to retort and dies from the fall. Old crane carries fish to another pond, but actually eats them. Crab strangles the crane upon learning this. Lean cat dies whenever he tries to eat from the kings table. Crow forgets how to walk when trying to learn how to walk like a partridge.
